Monday 19th November

Well today is where the fun and chaos really begins, So today, I have listed what I need to get done today, but also my goal for the week (considering I will be reno'ing all week), which will be dragged across each day this week and added with the daily stuff until done.

Hi PBQ - so are you moving out of your current rental place to a place you have purchased and are currently renovating. Are you doing the renos yourself or are you getting tradies in?

I am currently painting and boy-oh-by are my arms sore.

Today for me is a paint free day so...

Get kids up, morning chores (washing already in machine), off to schoolgo to workcome homeschool pick-upDS music lessonDD ballet lessondinnerrelax with a puzzle

Yes I have bought a place- we settle today I will be doing a fair bit of the renos, with SIL helping, but mostly the prep, ripping up carpets, scrubing every wall inside (which are all very badly smoke stained), ripping out the old kitchen, removing wall paper out of one room, (that all has to be done by Friday), then there are tradies coming in an out too-- shower screen goes in tomorrow, then BIL, electrician, plumber over the weekend, painters all of next week and carpet layers the week of the move (15th Dec)

Well I have now spent way too much time on the Centrelink website and I can't finalise it because I need my son's student number and he has that at school with him. So I will have to start from scratch later
